Hello folks!

Last week we discussed about the attitude of some governments concerning online gambling, as our industry is in the light of a narrow-minded political debate actually. We asked for comments, and we got only two. That's already good, but it seems that this topic does not interest a lot of people - or maybe some aren't comfortable enough to voice their opinion online? In any case, we've selected a winner (D.P. - dxxxxmpxxxx@yahoo.com) who will get $40 CASH sent in its Neteller account today. The comments were: "I really am getting less and less tolerant of my government telling me what they think I should be doing as an individual. I love this country but if us Americans don't start getting a bit riled up they will, inch by inch, take our choices away from us. If the government was really interested in our children as they always say they are there would not be one without a meal in this country, or one in a orphanage. We also wouldn't be looking at high school graduates who don't know how to read or write when they graduate. So you tell me who should be making the decisions about our lives. Certainly not the government and besides aren't WE THE PEOPLE the government."

NEW GAME The new Wheel Of Wealth game is a 5-reel, 25-payline video slot with 2 bonus rounds, Wild/Scatter symbols and a multiplier feature. This game features superior and colorful graphics and is really fun and generous! Try it at All Jackpots Casino ($225 SIGN-UP BONUS).

The other comment we received was (L.B. - cxxxxxxr@xxxxail.com.au):

"I think this is disgraceful. I live in Australia, and we are not allowed to play at Australian online casinos. It is a blatent attempt to stop people spending their money any way they like. If you earn it you should be able to spend it.in whatever way you like and where you like. The government doesn't earn the money. I do. You americans should lobby your local members to stop this sort of rubbish from happening. Big brother is getting too big, with the rules and regulations, and it's about time people power did something about it."

Concerning our monthly cash draws, the February winners will be announced next week.

The new Microgaming games have been released and they rock! You can play them at nearly all Viper Casinos.

One last thing, we have seen two online casinos groups merging last week. The Windows Casino Group has been purchased by the RTG group, King Solomons. The casinos under the new King Solomons management (which usually has fair customer support) are: Windows Casino, Hampton Casino, Portofino Casino, Gold Key and Magic Oasis. On an other side, The Palace Group (owning Spin Palace, Spin Palace Poker and Ruby Fortune) has purchased the Leisure Casinos Group, operator of Piggs Online Casino, Mummy’s Gold Casino, Jackpots in a Flash Casino and Poker333.

These two mergers will normally be profitable to players as the groups purchasing are serious and renowned. If you play at different online casinos of the different groups, it could improve your relationship with them, and dealing with only one group will be simpler.

Have a good week-end, :)

Warm regards,

2ND DEGREE: GAMBLING MYTHS, LEGENDS AND BELIEFS

Blackjack Myths: What are the common misconceptions and myths about Blackjack? We explore the three most common. 1) The concept of Blackjack is to have the closest hand to 21. Sounds good? Not totally, in fact. Because, lots of players without experience will hit until they get the closest hand to 21, undepending of the Dealer's hand... In basic strategy, there are several moments where you should stand on a 13, 14, 15 or 16 rather than hitting, even if the dealer has a low card. This is mathematically proved. So this phrase should be corrected as: The basic concept at Blackjack is that you want to have a hand value closer to 21 than the dealer hand (so, it is great to have a final hand of 13 against a lower hand). 2) The use of Insurance is recommended and secure. False, false, false! I still see players taking insurance! Do not take insurance... Insurance makes you feel secure, that you will lose less in the event of bad luck, but in fact, in the long run you lose more. Remember this: There are more chances to lose your insurance bet, because there are more chances that the dealer won't have Blackjack than having it. It is mathematically proved that it increases the house edge! Insurance could be used by the best Blackjack players on the planet, who count cards - ONLY! 3) Bad players at your table reduce your chances to win. False again... Bad players do not effect your chances of winning or losing.
